I was dreaming of laying in my bed and my room's windows was open. I could hear my neighbor's family playing in the backyard. It was night. One of their children said "Dad someone is looking over the wall". The father challenges the figure and some harsh words are exchanged. I hear a loud shot and a scream accompanied by a flash of light that woke me up. I had to look out my window to make sure that my neighbor wasn't really dead.

My sister was captured by an ancient people who practiced sacrifice. My mother and other sister were there with me. My mother said they would not throw my sister off the cliff, so I was calm. But they DID throw her off the cliff. I felt betrayed by my mother, who did not seem to be upset at the event. I woke with a long low groan, in a sitting up in bed position, with my heart beating fast and breathing hard. I started crying. The sense of betrayal was enormous, even though I understood it was a dream and that my sisters were both ok.

I was flying on a plane with a friend, we were sitting in the middle three seats of a large jet (2-3-2 seat set-up) and then all of a sudden the plan started shaking and then spinning and plummeting to the ground,my friend and i were screaming and crying and praying, and then we crash landed and I thought I had died.

I am in a normal setting, with members of my family, - but I am a child of about ten. My mother is in the dream and I am unaware that I am dreaming. At some point I realize that the woman who looks like my mother is NOT my mother - and that this woman would kill me using long, witch-like poisoned fingernails. I knew this would be very painful because she would poke her pointy nail into my rib cage. I knew then it was a dream that I had to end. I always felt the pain very acutely, but knew that I would end the dream as soon as I felt the pain. It was really horrible.

I was terrified of a person, a terrible monstrous person. This person was a killer, but worse, a vampire-like being of pure evil. At some point in the dream, I realized that I had, as often happens in dreams, changed characters. I was this creature. I may have seen this in the dream. This realization struck me as unbelievably terrifying. I had no hope of escape.

I remember a terrorizing dream wherein I am in my home but in a bedroom other than my own. I can hear other voices in fear or dispair in the other room, probably in my actual bedroom. There was also something about a slide going down into an unknown place which I tried to avoid and probably woke up when the ride down began. I suppose I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time. A concern is that much of the experience may not be a dream.

I was hiding, with one or more other people, from a tornado. We were inside a house, huddled behind furniture, as the tornado came through the ceiling and moved around the room, clearly searching for us. The tornado was like a long tube, eight or ten inches in diameter, twisting and swirling.

Falling in the deep ocean, seeing pretty tropical fish, then they go away. It gets cold and dark, and I start to worry about sharks. And then the sharks come, circle me, close in on me and bite me. Then I wake up.

I dreamt the end of the earth was coming, I went to my mothers house and saw my father lying dead and naked in the alley next to the house My mother answered the door and had leisions all over her face and didn't care about anything. I looked up the block and saw my three children running and a car stopped with a man staring at me holding a rifle and shooting my children, after they fell down they got up and were shot again, this happed three times. Then I ran accross the street and tried to save my aunt. She came to the door with so many lesions all over her face, while there was huge thundering in the sky it looked as if the entire universe was cracking and a bright light was behind it. She said to stay in her house, no one was safe from the end of the world but her house was the safest. Not a dream, six months after my father died As a child I had a lot of death dreams and within two weeks someone died (actually)

Questionable whether or not it's a nightmare, but . . . My older sister, who I never heard sing, was standing in the center of the room singing and each line went in a lower voice until she got so low no male base could have matched it. I woke myself up laughing.

That would be the one circa 1970, when I was 19. I had a dream that I was making love to a woman I did not know, but had seen in a Broadway play. My father and mother burst into the room, both naked. And, my father screamed at me, as he turned to my mother, "This is the way it's done!"

not a nightmare but almost 20 yrs ago i had a dream where i was waiting for the bus-i had a car then one week later my car broke down and i was given a choice to pay for repars which i couldnt afford or have the car repoed- guess what the bust stop closeset to work looked like- the one in the dream

I dove off a very very high diving board and half way down saw there was no water in the pool. I had been dreaming about diving and I had been working on progressively higher boards. I sat straight up in bed gasping for air and interestingly enough it took me four or five tries before I could get air in my lungs and start to be able to breathe. I've never had a severe reaction like that one-a dream situation in real life.

Standing at the foot of a mountain that turns into a volcano. The volcano erupts, but rather than lava, the product seems to be very large balls of fibrous material. They roll down the mountain and I run from them. I run until exhausted when the balls envelope me and begin to smother me. I wake gasping for breath.
